Shame

Song

{title: Shame}

{subtitle: Depeche Mode - 'Construction Time Again' (83)}

(*)[Hm]Do you ever get that feeling

When the [A]guilt begins to [E]hurt?

[Hm]Seeing all the children

[A]Wallowing in [E]dirt

[Hm]Crying out with hunger

[A]Crying out in [E]pain

[Hm]At least the dirt will wash off

[A]When it starts to [E]rain

(**)[H]Soap won't wash [A]away your [H]shame

{comment: see (*)}

Do you ever get the feeling

That something isn't right?

Seeing your brother's fist

Clenched ready for the fight

Soon the fighting turns to weapons

And the weapons turn to wounds

So the doctor's stitch and stitch and stitch

And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch

{comment: see (**)}

Surgery won't improve your pain

{comment: see (*)}

It all seems so stupid

It makes me want to give up

But why should I give up

When it all seems so stupid?

{comment: see (*)}

Do you ever get the feeling

That something can't be done?

To eradicate these problems

And make the people one

Do you ever get that feeling

Something like a nagging itch?

And all the while the doctors stitch

And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch

{comment: see (**)}

Hope alone won't remove the stains (for shame)

{comment: see (*)}

It all seems so stupid

It makes me want to five up

But why should I give up

When it all seems so stupid?
